Search eBay for the Vivitar Fisheye. It's like $300, but Manual focus only. Cheapest Fisheye you can get. seems decent too.

Upload to Flickr.

Go to 'Your Photostream' and choose the pic you want.

Click on the arrow where it shows the Facebook and Twitter icon.

Choose the 'HTML/BBCode' link and paste into your post.

Invested in a Canon EOS Rebel T2i with EF-S 18-55IS Refurbished for $649, and with the Canon Loyalty program it dropped down to about 540.

[font=arial, sans-serif]It takes some nice photos but I need to invest in a solid zoom lens, and figure out the best settings with low light (trial and error I guess).[/font]

What's your budget for a zoom lens? 

 

[mez 0ne]

To be honest, if I am investing in something of quality then its a good investment no matter the price.

But with that said, I really don't want to drop hundreds and hundreds on a lens at this moment, but I'd like to have something solid for sporting events with a good amount of zoom. I see a different variety of lens on the Canon website but I don't even know where to begin, the differences between each, etc.

You might want to look into buying used lenses. http://photography-on-the.net/forum/index.php is a good place to browse for lenses. It's a Canon forum where you can find just about anything Canon related, test shots, reviews, etc. Like the Niketalk for Canon users... Kind of. 

You can buy a 70-200 f4L for about $500 used. It's probably the most budget friendly "L" lens you can find, and all "L" lenses are known to provide awesome results. If you just want something with longer reach than the 18-55 you can look into the 55-250 IS. http://www.bhphotovideo.c...55_250mm_f_4_5_6_IS.html It's a decent zoom lens, has Image Stabilization, and you can find it for about $200 used.

Sorry for the noob question, but how much zoom is the 55-250 lens capable of doing? Just trying to understand the terms when looking for a lens (this IS my first DSLR camera).

I'll check that Canon board as well, thanks dude.

This is a sample shot @ 55mm

and @ 250mm

Peep this review for more info... http://www.the-digital-pi...-5.6-is-lens-review.aspx

 

[presequel]

24-105 f4/L is another good walkaround option as well.
